SI :C RET A Xl' . —W. S. Northheuse, Esq., 4, Parliament-street. n 18.36, Mr. Charles Pearson issued a circular, in which he Pro, pounded th e b as i s of th i s Company. Circumstances prevented nig • immediate formation, though at that time upwards of 300,0001. we privately offered towards carrying it into effect ; s i nce th a t per i o d , the prise of coal has continued to increase ; the combine 'lto s of O wners and Factors has became wider, more stringent, and re oppressive. No Act of Parliament cn effectually graple Wit h it, though the height to which it has already gone may p be g2tt hored from the astounding fact that Newcastle coals sold in Seas / , tovo l O Lond sh o n. c , illins per ton cheaper than they w ere perm i tte d to b e fhe object of this Company is to secure to its Shareholders of S'econd Class, coals, at the smallest cost at which they can be 'oertred, without the enormous additions which the present system °' !Co .sions, and which it can be clearly proved, amount to upwards of I( ss. per ton. For this purpose the Company will have its own lAN its own vessels, and everything else that may be necessary ; load and unload without loss of time . ; will deliver to its osva Shia - eholders without the intervention of Factors, or the heavy ohm gee that now fall upon consumers, and instead thereof only adal firs per cent. to the price, in addition to the current expenses as in ter: st upon the Shares of the Capitalists. 'o deed need be signed by Shareholders, and no Act of Par- EPA' lent will be necessary, as there will be no debts, and no credits (C,l , ntracts with Government forming the solo exception.) Con suite ers may have Coals to the amount of their Shares, and renew arid s shares as convenient. addition to the Newcastle Coals (some of the best of which see ,within the option of the Company, the valuation of the pits to be to ken in Shares) they have evidence of the existence, and the facilitty and cheapness of procuring and carrying other coals of great excellence, in which the saving will considerably exceed 10s. per ton, and which are also within their option. These aid 'other sources of supply, the possession of Pits of their own, and the contract with the consumers' class of Shareholders for a yes r certain, will effectually prevent any fighting trade or other ruinous corn petition by the monopolists of the North and the South, who cant only crush small and dependent Companies, not having self-reso•nrg :es to rely upon. The opt ion of changing Consumers' and Capitalists' Shares into each oth.et : at the end of the first Year, will enable those who require Coal, to. Thave it at probably 30 per Cent. cheaper than they can atl erwir K. procure it, and when by leaving London they no longer require t i t, to get 5 per Cent. interest for their money, with such ti°r is U. the premium on any future extension of the Capital may eeeasi , jg a ., ther Th e opini ons o f severa l em i nent Barristers have been taken whe this scheme would involve the Shareholders in any Commer cial or Joint Stock responsibility—the answer unanimously has been that it would not. T,Nenty Directors to be annually elected—half by and out of the Cay.italists' class, and half by and out of the Consumers' class.

The proprietors of the mines of Seyssell employ in the formation t , f bitumen the asphalte found in those mines, mixed with a great Proportion of mineral tar, which is an indispensable ingredient in the formation of the bitumen of Seyssel, and alone enables it to re xist the effect of heat and cold. This mineral tar is obtained from the mines of Bastenne and Gaujac, in the South of France. The proprietors of the Bastenne and Gaujac Mines have formed themselves into a Company at Paris, under the title of " La jSoiete d es Mi nes des d'Asphalte de Bastenne," with the ob of forming a bitumen out of the mineral tar obtained from thee! mines, on a system peculiar to themselves. This bitumen, which is called the bitumen of Bastenne and Gaujac, has been tried since the year 1830, and more particularly in the Pon...Neuf, one of the most frequented thoroughfares of Paris, and has been found superior to any other. The Count De Beutet, who is at present in London. has, with others, entered into a contract with the above Company for the purchase of the exclusive right of vending the tar of Bastenne and Gatijae in this country, and in every other except the United States and France, and the Company formed for working the Bastenne and Gaujac Mines have by this contract bound themselves not to sell to any other person for the purpose of exportation any tar pro duced from their mines. As the mineral tar necessary to the eomposition of bitumen cannot be obtained in any other pert of Europe but from the mines of Bas tenne and Gaujac, and as this Company has the sole right of vend ing that tar in this country, and on all the Continent excepting the kingdom of France, this undertaking holds forth the most brilliant respects. The shares of the French Company already referred to are now demanded in P ar i s at a very large premium, and there is no doubt that, the Company here will possess even greater advantages. The con t ract being made for the supply of tar, the expense of Ma nufacturing the bitumen will be small, and the Company will therefore be enabled to commence operations at a trifling outlay to meet the p urc h ase of the exclusive pr i v i lege, and for the neces '4rY co mmencement, the deposit on theshares has been fixed at 2 /. oaeh. One -fifth of the capital is taken by the contracting parties. Abe shprospe ortlyctus, with the names of the Directors, Bankers, &c., 'trill issued.

THE Writer is in possession of a means of pro ducing an unlimited motive power, capable of propelling the largest ships that float the ocean, suitable for all purposes of Loco motion, and for Mining, and for Machinery of all kinds, possessing the following advantages : First.—li is a harmless power and requires no fuel whatever. Second.—The space occupied for, say 500 horse power, will be less than a steam engine of same power, independent of space for fuel. Third.—The: cost of an engine of the above size will be much less than a steam engine of same size. Fourth.—The power, it may be said, will not cost anything after the first load, or charge for years, and this load or charge is but a trifle. Fifth.—lt is so easy of management that any intelligent person may be taught to manage an engine of any power in a few days. The writer wishes assistance to mature his discovery, and secure patents. For this purpose two or three thousand pounds will be required, for which the writer will give five per cent. per annum. The sum lent will be refunded, with its interest, out of the first proceeds of the engine, and ten thousand pounds for the accomo dation. The secret of the discovery will not be given at first, but for an expense of 401. or 501. a shaft will be shown doing work for any length of time that may be wished. Reference will be given to respectable parties in London. The writer having applied to almost all the Public Companies about London uses this means before leaving for the Continent. As there is no time for correspondence, none need apply but per sonally, between the h ours o f s i x and eight in the evening of Mon day, the 9th inst., between the hours of ten and six, on Tuesday, the 10th inst. ; and same hours, on Wednesday the 11th inst.

Sheweth, That your petitioners view with surprise and alarm a measure before your Honourable House to repeal the existing laws of Copyright, and to substitute in its stead a law highly injurious to the interests of the community at large, the literature of the coun try, and more particularly the interests of your petitioners. That your petitioners consider that to extend the benefit of Copyright to the natural life of an author, and sixty years beyond, would have the certain effect of restricting the publication of books in general, more particularly those of the highest merit, the greatest usefulness, a n d th e mos t ex t ens i ve c i rcu l at i on, thereby discouraging mental pursuits, and, by its application, tending to demoralize the rising generation, and, as a necessary consequence, injure the trade by which your petitioners live. That your petitioners consider every book, after its author has received from the community its patronage for the period at present provided by law, should become the property of the public in ge neral; the work would then be widely circulated, and society at large, as experience has proved, be greatly benefitted by the diffusing of the information it contains. That your petitioners consider the liberty at present enjoyed of making extracts from Books is not prejudicial to the authors and proprietors of such works ; but, on the contrary, highly advanta geous to them ; while to prohibit this liberty, except for the pur pose of criticism, would be to prevent th e p u bli ca ti on o f a nume rous class of School Books for the instruction of the juvenile mind, particularly adapted for the inculcation of religious and moral pre cepts, and entirely alter the present mode of education throughout the country—it would also tend still further to prohibit the publi cation of a numerous class of Books, which afford amusement and information to the mature and cultivated mind, and which give em ployment to a considerable portion of your petitioners. That in the opinion of your petitioners such important altera tions as are contemplated by the proposed Bill, would be highly mischievous, unjust, and subversive of the general interests of so ciety. We therefore humbly entreat your Honourable House to reject the same. And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.

BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS. HANON'tg, MARCH 31.—The Second Chamber of the Es tates has resolved to prolong for one vitas (1838-1839) the Budget as voted by the late Assembly of tlse Estates, and to consent that the existing surplus shall he employed in pay • ing debts, in the improvements of the Palace, &C. in the pro portion proposed by the Government. At the same time :t was resolved, that for the same year, (1838-1839) 102 ; 009 six dollars should be taken off the personal tax. so far as it can be done without embarrassment to the public treasury ; and the Chamber has also proposed, that considering the little business that they have to do, the Assembly shall be adjourned till the Committee appointed to examine the ne►w Constitution shall have concluded its labour& The First Chamber has not acceded to this proposal. APRIL 2.—Notwithstanding the difference in the opinions respecting the proceedings of the Assembly of the Estates, we frequently hear highly respectable men declare, that they think the Estates act as the good of the country requires un der the present circumstances. It must be owned that there is a great difference in the situation of one who looks on what is passing as a mere spectator, and of a Member of the Assembly, on whom a heavyresponsibility rests. If we only reflect what the consequence would be if the filstates were to se parate without enabling the Government,by their consent, to levy taxes, we shall confess that it would be rash of them if they did not at least make the attempt to obviate the confusion that must ensue. It cannot, therefore, be affirmet: that seve ral members, otherwise respectable men, have withdrawn from the Chamber before the country was satisfied in this respect at least. An opinion is pretty generally prevalent that the greatest gratitude is due to the Chambers for their calm conduct anu well-considered proceedings, and great personal sacrifices which the members make to the country, and it is hoped that they will continue in the manner they have begun and so lead to a satisfactory result.—Hamburgh Papers, AprilG.

An adjourned Court was held this day, before Mr. Sergi nt Armius and n full Bench of Justices, "to consider the expe diency of recommending her Majesty's Cmornment to bring in a Bill to limit th e o p en i ng o f h ouses f or t h e sa l e a spirituous liquors, to the hours prescribed for coffee-houses and be.tr houses, and to forbid the opening al e uf such spirit-house s gether on Sunday morn i ngs; an d to empower th e nig:strates; to license certain houses for the sale of tea, coffee, and other unintoxicating refreshments, to be open in the tlig::kt time, an situations where they may appear to them necessai:a for the reasonable accommodation, of the public, and to stigtvest such modirtcations of the existinglaws in regard to public-houses, as may appear to them to be necessary." Mr. J. T. BARBER BEAumoNT, the Chairman of the Committee, this day moved the adoption of the sixth resolu tion—" Provided always, that any peron, v,hetber licenstd to sell excisable liquors in any in. , ) or' victualling-house, wherein the sale of spirituous liquors does not form a proini nent part of the business therein, or not so lioNisrd, may supply yeady.made tea, coffee, and oilier refreshrnlnis, not of ken intoxicating kind, on his premises on Sunday /morn ings." The [ion. Membe r sa id t he i ntent of i t was to confirm tee second, winch had been passed umniimously at the _rut Court. The Committee, in recommending the resolutions, had proposed certain n:easures to put a stop to midnight drunkenness often elongated to the next morning, and that all dram-shops and tirpling houses e h ou ld not he opened on a Sunday morning. Hotels and inns for the accommodation of respectable families would be exempted from the proposed rules. Mr. Beaumont, after repeating his former observa tions, which have been more than once detailed in the Morning Advertiser, as to the necessity of closing public.. houses and gin-palaces by eleven o'clock at night, and keeping them shut all Sunday mornings, moved the adoption of the 6th resolution. SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 9.—Arrived the Peace, Byron, St. Michael's. TORBAY, APRIL 9.—Arrived the Mary Anne, Shenis, from Faro. SWANSEA, APRIL 9.—Arrived the Calder, Turner, from Valparaiso ; and Cubana, Capes, from St. Sago de Cuba. Sir CHARLES FoulEs seconded it. Mr. GIBBON opposed the propo3ed rules. They were so utterly und4ined that no Magistrate could enforce them. He should like to know how on inn for families was to be defined in contradistinction from a public-house licensed for the same accommodation. Mr. M‘WlLLlAm—There will be great difficulty in de fining it. The resolution was put by the Chairman, and carried by I I to 2, the minorizy - comprising Mr. Gibbon and Captain Wood, M. P. Mr. BEAUMONT then moved the -eventil resolution : _. MILFORD, APRIL 9.—Arrivcd the Irish Lass, from Monte Video ; and J. P. Dobree, from Demerara. l ce That if any person persists in remaining in any victualling iiousc., beer-shop, or coffi22-house, beyond the times limited by law, or if in consequence of any disortterly conduct therein committed.. or reasonably apprehended by the keeper of such house, he be desirous of clearing his house. and any person refuse to depar.l - on being required so to do, it shall be lawful for any such viettollcr to procure the aid of one or more police constables or other }:Face-officer, when if the said person still refuse to depart, it shat) be deemed a breach of the peace, and he shall be token into custody to be dealt wit:l according- to law." He ( Mr. Beaumont) considered this resolution most necessary. It was required of licensed victuallers by the ma gistrates granting licenses, that they should keep their hou ses in order, and how were they to be protected if such power atlas .not given? The CHAIRMAN observed that the Hot:. Mover appeared to make it a substantial resolution, instead of a recommenda tion to her Majesty's Government. The Court had a right to recommend, but not to make such a rule. CORK, APRIL 7.—Arrived the Vulture (steamer), from London ; Adelaide, Godfrey, and D. Ilregand, Groom, from St. Domingo.

BERWICK, APRIL B.—The Margaret, High, from Shields to Dundee, was stranded on Spittal Beach this morning ; crew (except the master) rased. ELSINORE, MARCH 31.—During last night and to-day it has blown a strong gale from N. W. and W.N. W., which has probably broken up the ice to the south. The passage to Copenhagen is reported to be clear of ice to-day. INlAnnvrtus, DEC 30.—The Rapid, Cassie, from hence to London, which put back, 21st inst., with five feet water in the hold, has landed the whole of her cargo, about 1,000 bags of sugar, damaged ; and as the vessel still leaks, she will be hove down. The Dryope, from Pernambuco to Liverpool, was spoken, 24th ult., in lat. 36, ton. 40; and the Irish Lass, Monte Video to Liverpool, 31st ult., in lat. 46, ton. 24, by the William Russell, arrived at Liverpool. The Swaine, Jenkins, from Dublin to Gloucester, was on shore near Fishguard, Bth inst., and full of water. The Ray, Jermain, from Dublin to Gloucester, was totally wrecked near Holyhead, 7th inst. Mr. GIBBON had no particular objection to the resolution, but was it said the licensed victualler had not a right to turn out a disorderly person ? • Mr. ELwvN - said the Commissioners of Police had ordered that policemen were not to enter public-houses to turn out disorderly persons. The CHAIRMAN said he was of opinion the present law was sufficiently operative without. the proposed enagtnnent. Mr. BEAUMONT thought the ITsoluti.m was one of consider able utility ; a publican might wish to deer his house either from his own good feeling, or respect to the licensing Magis trates, but under the present law there was no power allotted him to turn out h s customers. CHAIRMAN.-There is the statute law. Despatches, dated the 14th of December, were re ceived yesterday at the India Board, from Lord Auckland, the Governor-General of India. Mr. BEAUMONT.—It does not apply. Licensed victuallers, when tined before Magistrates for having disorderly persons in their houses, say, " We cannot get rid of them—what are we to do ?" The CHAIRIVAN said the last speaker v.•as in error—the landlord had the power to clear his house, and the proposed resolt&on would not give him more power. The difficulty did riot arise from the law, but from the rules of the Comniiisioriers of Police. Mr. CONANT was of opinion the Commissioners had acted judiciously in giving orders that the policemen should not interfere in such cases. PRACTICA L RIDDANCE OF THE COAL MONO poLv.—Mr. Labouchere, the Chairman of the Committee on the Coal Trade Bill, has been in the habit of asking each wit ness who has successfully narrated the gross abuses and extor tions of the coal monopolists, if he could suggest any remedy. Several minor points have been suggested, but both witnesses and Committee seem to be puzzled by the circumstance that the coal-owners of the North can, and do refuse to sell any Coals to those who will not comply with the absurd and expensive regulation s i n t h e S outh. This double combina tion has hitherto defeated both Parliament and the public. Now, however, the bull is likely to be taken by the horns ; the genius of Mr. Ch ar l es P earson has discovered a plan, by which, in spite of the High Court of Aldermen, and without the aid of the higher Court of Parliament, the public may get Coals at a natural and reasonable price, without being obliged to pay for t h e constra i ned idleness of crews, the machinery of factors, or the enormous profits and undetected mixtures of merchants and dealers. The " Self-producing and Self-con suming Company," so far as its own members extend, will de feat a monopoly which allows "coals to be sold in Egypt at two shillings per ton less than they arc permitted to be sold in London !" The plan is a good one, and likely to be very pro fitable ; but it i s susce p t ibl e o f i m p rovemen t. If i t be in tended to supply s h are h o ld e rs o n th e coast as well as in Lon don, why n o t i n t ro d uce so me mod e o f taking advantage of the drawback on the duty now conceded by the Corporation on coals for exportation, and also show how they may be profitably used as ballast ? These additions would render this practical mode of defeating the monopoly perfect.—Courier.—[Pos sibly these suggestions were not overlooked, but purposely omitted as being premature, until the negotiation between the Corporation and the Parliamentary Committee be concluded]. TIIE SEVEN STAGES OF LAW.—TIIe law's a strange riddle : all the world's at law, and all our thriving fellows are lawyers; they have their articles and their entrances, and one man in his time brings many actions—each cause having seven stages. First the writ, hunting and seeking in the bailiff's hands. And then the declaration, with its venue and half-a-dozen counts, rushing, alas I too quickly on its fellow, and then the plea to it, drawn by some special pleader. Then the demurrer, full of denials, lying like young Wilding, eager to put off, sudden and quick in filing, seeki,ig for some procrastination, even in the judge's teeth. And then the judgment, with fair decision and good records lined with legal words and terms of formal cut, full of old prece dents and modern instances, and so they go to Court. The scene then shifts ieto the sharp remorseless execution, with levy on its back, and poundage too. Last stage of all, that ends this strange and useless persecution, is the King's Bench, or Fleet, or else the Marshalsea. Sans law, sans sense, sans cash, sans everything. Mr. GinaoN said, the Magistrates would stultify themselves and appear ridic,lous if Ow) were to ask the Government for a new enact vent when a law was in force. Mr. M'\VILLIAaI remarked, that they were only making a uggestion, which could (lo no harm. The resolution was then carried by a majority of 12 to 2. Mr. BEAUMONT next m wed, " That victuallers supplying stront wine, end spirituous liquors to persons while in a state of inLxication, or who have drunk so much liquor on his premises as to be likely to be intoxicated, be not entitled to payment for liquor so furnished ; and thit if they have pro cured payment for it, they may be compelled to rcfnnd the same on a summary process." And observed, that in doing he was aware of the smiles with which the readin:2- of it had been received ; but he considered it art important part of the proposed mesure.—( Hear and laughter.) The CHAIRMAN said be wis!ied to hum, how a publican was to ascertain that a person was likely to be in'oxicati d.—( Hear and laughter.) Suppose he and his Hon. Friend Mr. Beau mont, were to go into a public-hour: and call for a pot of porter with two other friends—cauld the publican tell who had the strorgest or the iicakest head ?—(licar, hear. and loud laughter.) lie could :FA ace box the thino• was to be defined. Mr. BEAUMONT said that it was a great hardship on Li censed Victuallers that persons entered their hours, partook of refreshments, and then refused payment. A case had re cently been decided against a victualler : a stran!re person, having the appearance of a gentleman, called for a &liner to the amount of five shillings ; having taken it he slid he had no money, but would ca'l another day and pay foe it. The landlord insisted upon immediate payment, when the customer said it was a mere debt. The landlord then srir:el his coat, and an action at law ensued, in which the defendant (the la.ldlorci) had a verdict returned against him, with upwards of 1001. costs. In short, Licensed Victualler; were the most unprotected persons of the trading community. CHaiEMAN.—In such cases, and where the person was a stranger, the money might be asked for first. 31r. BEAumoNT.--Would you like to be asked for the mono• first ? _ _ CHAIRMAN.-Yes, I should not dislike it where I was not known ; I should p:cfer it. Ikrsoi - s of the description al luded to, who lived in idleness, fared well, and were with out visible means of existence, might be apprehended as vagabonds. Sir C. FounEs said he could not agree to the resolution. As to a man calling for dinner VS ithout money—and they had heard something of ovstereaters, of .Dando—he would ask for the money before the oysters were opencd.—( Laughter.) But the resolution was to the effect, that if a man gut drunk in a public-house the publican should not recover the amount of the value of the liquor he bad drunk. Why that wouli be an inducement to drunkenness.—( /fear.) Mr. ELWYN w;shed to know how ;he latl!oyd was to know at all times whether his customers were tipsy Hear.) CHAIRMAN.—Yes ; au.l whether he is likely to be intoxi. cited ; that puzzles me.—(Hear and laughter.) Sappose I dine at the Thatched House Tavern and do not pay, and the waiter sees me the next day in the street, what is to be the result ?. :7 -( Hear.) Mr. BEAUMONT said he could not consent to an alteration of the resolution, sshich was ultimately carried. The 9th resolution, " That any person consuming victuals in any house for the sale thereof, and not payinz for the same if required durin g his stay, or as soon after as he caa be metwith, with, and there being no agreement for credit to be given, shall be deemed idle and disorderly, and be punishable accord ingly," was agreed to by a majority. Mr. BEAUMONT next moved " That the Magistrates in Petty Sessions, subject to appeal to the General Sessions, be empowered to license persons to keep houses in situations which they may approve of for the sale of tea, coffee, and other refreshments not being of an intoxicating nature, to be open in the night time, such houses to be thereupon open to the in spection of the police." Mr. BEAUMONT said the resolution was a most important one. The business of the extensive metropolis led numbers to be abroad all night. There were persons connected with newspaper establishments, passengers •by steam-boats and coaches who required refreshment—and what Letter suste nance could they' find than in the coffee-house? There they could procure far more substantial and nutritive provision than gin and beer. Sir J. J. HANsr.Ert seconded the propoition. Mr. GIBBON opposed it—arguing that if carried into a law it would open new receptacles for thieves and bad characters. Any poor person might set up a coffee-shop without character or responsibility,. while the Licensed Victualler involved his whole property in his licensed house. Mr. M`NVILLIAm thought the coffee-shops should be left as they were ; by the proposed regulation he thought they would creep up to spirit shops. Mr. CONANT said the law regulating coffee.ir_ops was not generally known--it was enacted that they were to close at eleven o'clock at night, and not open before four or five o'clock in the morning. Captain Noon, M. P., said he thought the opening of coffee-shops all night, against public-houses, would cause more_ midnight disorders than were at present heard of. It should be recollected that public-bous..s were licensed, and great property invested by the ewners.—( Hear, Leer.) No so with coffee-shops, the keepers cf which were irresponsible. —( Hear.) Public-houses, as they were called, were under the controul of the Magistrates, and the keepers liable to sur veillance and vexatious information. The Hon. Magistrate subsequently observed, the Government rni,ght I).in ; in a Bill on the subject, and it would he 'a practicable course to ascer tain whether the police had the porer to clear Fuhl;e•heuses on a Sunday morning. The Court was aware of a hi g hl y re spectable and wealthy body—the Licens.e.l Vietuall3rE._lnd he thought a commumeaiion should be made to the Secretory of the Institution. He believed the respectable Victuallers was car wisAhfetderthseeimrehouunsiemspteottbaeureltiortposiLnSat%lr.:yrcm,,oluntii,o,g:.. ried, as well as the two remlinmg, and the Cow t broke up. The consumption of tobacco In France has greatly increased, and in 1836 exceeded that or 1835 by 4,578.6001b5. The revenue derived by the state from this article amounts to about 56,000,000 francs per annum. MARKETS. -(THIS DAY). HUNGERFORD MARKET. The price of Meat continues high.

It continues very drooping, and but a small quantity sells in proportion to what is put up. To the present time we should sii y that about 64,000 packages have passed auction, being somewhere about one-third of the original amount advertised. Prices rule much as yesterday. TALLOW MARKET. On the spot P.Y.C. is very dull at 515.; for delivery the quotation is 455. In fact it may be said there is no Market. TOBACCO MARKET. A large parcel of Kentucky has been sold at previous rates; part of t for consumption, and part for export. METAL MARKET. The only variation is in Spelter, which has in some instances risen Os. per ton. The quotation in such cases being 16/. 10s. COLONIAL MARKETS. Although next week is a holiday week, and we might hare expected a large business d ur i ng th e present, ye t suc h i s far from being the case. Every department is perfectly quiet to-day, we have but little doing by public sale for a Tuesday, and by private contract next to nothing. No new feature was presented today; indeed, it was not to be expected when transactions were so small. B. P. Sugar sold very quietly at the prices quoted last week, lowest, 545., mid., 575. to 585., fine, 635. to 655. Refined Sugar is quoted at 35s 6d for fine crushed. To-day 5,814 bags of Mauritius Sugar were put up to sale, which when we le;t were progressing stea_ lily at pr ev i ous rates, and so ' was the sale of 2,557 bags of Bengal ; Raw Sugar for consumption seems very steady, and somewhat certain in PI Ice Just now. The Coffee market is flat, and to-day we had 542 bales of Mocha, which is a large parcel ; the whole appeared not to be sold, and that which sold fetched previous prices, but, where altered, lower. We had a publi c sa l e o f Havanna h S uga r for to-day, but it is postponed until to-morrow. A small parcel of 'Malabar Ginger went much at pre cious prices. Rice is not in demand. Ruin is flat, but not lower. Spices are m os tl y very dull, and pr i ces ra th er u ncertain. I he Imports are increased somewhat considerably. For to.morrow we have but little adverrised. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—Arm 9. The sales of Cotton amount to 3,000 bags today, still the market is very dull and very spiritless ; the prices are much about the same as at the close of last week—none lower will be taken, as the speculators made offers for quantities to-day at reduced rates, which were refused. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, Aran.. 9. There has not been any considerable business done here to-day in Railway Stock, but the Market is, however, much more firm than it NV:IS on Saturday. Prices generally have a tendency upwards, particularly Brighton and Eastern Counties ; for the former considerable inquiry has been made throughout the day, and some sales effected at 10 %. The holders are not, however, disposed to sell, feeling confident that they will reach their former premium. The following are the quotations at the close of to.day's Market:—Eastern Counties, 5A ; London and Bir mingham, 17fil Ditto, Half Share, 3'2i; Brighton, 10k ; Manches ter and Birmingham, 10*; North Midlands, 414; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 5.-- >74,s‘--4.3 11 ETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, To prevent the Public being imposed upon by spurious imitations of the PATENT BRANDY, J. T. BETTS & Co. p3.rti,:ularly request that they will observe,—that their Brandy is the only one for which a Patent has been obtained,—the only one recommended by the Faculty for Medical purposes,—and the only one which has stood the test of Chemical analysis : the reports made upon productions which others have submitted to that test, having invariably been such as they have not dared to make public : it is therefore essentially requisite that purchasers should be per fectly satisfied with the identity of the article. The Only Establishment of J. T. Bette and Co., is the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield-bars, adjoining the Cattle Market, where the Patent Brandy may be had either pale or coloured, sent free of ex pense to any part of the town, in quantities not less than Two Gal lons, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, of the highest legal strength, for Cash on delivery. A liberal Discount to the Trade. TO PRIVATE FAAITT.IVC arras T rnlynAticz.r.: CHARCOAL SUPERSEDED. C.
